T1 - Surface Structuring and Reverse Deposition of Nanoporous Titanium Oxides by Laser Ablation of Titanium in Air JF - Plasma Chemistry and Plasma Processing N2 - The deposition of titanium oxides during titanium laser ablation in air has been experimentally and numerically investigated. A titanium sample was irradiated by nanosecond pulses from an Yb-fber laser with a beam scanned across the sample surface for its texturing. As a result, the hierarchical structure was observed consisting of a microrelief formed by the laser ablation and a nanoporous coating formed by the reverse deposition from the laser induced plasma plume. The chemical and phase composition of the nanoporous coating, as well as the morphology and structure of the surface, were studied using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray microanalysis. It was found that the deposit consists mostly of porous TiO2 with 26% porosity and inclusions of TiO, Ti2O3, and Ti2O3N. Optical emission spectroscopy was used to control the plasma composition and estimate the effective temperature of plasma plume. The chemical-hydrodynamic model of laser induced plasma was developed to get a deeper insight into the deposition process. The model predicts that condensed titanium oxides, formed in peripheral plasma zones, gradually accumulate on the surface during the plasma plume evolution. A satisfactory agreement between the experimental and calculated chemical composition of the plasma plume as well as between the experimental and calculated composition and thickness of the deposited film was demonstrated. This allows a cautious conclusion that the formation of condensed oxides in the plasma and their consequent deposition onto the ablation surface are among the key mechanisms of formation of porous surface films.
